One of Feanor's soldier of the Ist Age. To look more like an ancient warrior he is suited in a gothic-looking armor and a long chainmail, like many of the crusaders. Anyway, this is my vision of the evolution of elven armament.

My favorite picture of yours is still the poised and, hmm, dynamically still Turin--like the best martial artists, ready for anything--along with all the well-conceived and well-drawn details. But that *is* a character portrait, while this is more a conceptual work-up.
